Most regional highways are well-maintained if aged. Summer brings road construction, winter brings snow, and spring may bring road weight limits as the ground thaws. MN-DOT provides helpful information about conditions and road work.
Almost all of the local communities use some version of the grid system for their streets, with extensive use of numbered 2nd, 3rd, 4th Avenues West streets for easy direction-finding. Inquire locally, most residents are happy to help provide directions.
